The wife of the UFC star said on social media Sunday that Chris Weidman underwent surgery after kicking his right leg during his fight against Uriah Hall on Saturday night at UFC 261.
The fight was halted shortly after Weidman, a Long Island native, went down. He was later pulled over.
“Well, it was terrible. Strange things happen in life and plans collapse. It has been a lonely day, but in the end it was a pleasure to see this man of mine post surgery, ”wrote Merevi Weidman In an instagram post. “My heart breaks for my husband because I know the work and dedication he puts into his training everyday and the great man he is, so I only want the best for him. While it is absolutely useless at the moment and for the coming few weeks, we are completely overwhelmed by the love and support that we have far and wide for how blessed we are. All this ends the distortion of the situation. “
The 36-year-old Weidman was on the other side of a similar freak injury when UFC veteran Anderson Silva broke his leg at UFC 168 in 2013.
“Shampoo my deepest and most sincere feeling.” Have faith, I wish you a speedy recovery Wrote on instagram Saturday night.
